BRAIN GRowTu IN INFANCY "A
striking fact deduced from observa-
lions recorded by the late DR.. Parrot,
is the rapid growth of the brain in
tho first half year of life as compared
with the increase in height and the
growth of other organs. Taking the
total growth between birth and six
years of age as 100, the weight of the
heart increases l1.43 in girls and ll.Ss
in boys during their first six months OF
life; the height increases 20.S in girls
and la in boys; while the weight OF
brain incre ases ~. Al in girls and 20. 81

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS When the
first electric telegraph was establish ed,
according to the British postmaster
general, the speed of TRANSMISSION. was
from four to five words minute on
tho tive-neddle instruments. In 1S4g
the average rate for number OF news
paper messages was seventeen words q
minute. The present pace OF the cleo
trio telegraph between London and
Dublin, where the Wheatstone auto
matte instrument is employed, reaches
462 words minute; and thus whal
was regarded as mira culous sixty years
ago has multiplied hundredfold in
one half century.
PREHISTORIC MINES. AN accoun
of some interesting ancient flint mines
discovered near Mur-de- Barrez, Fran cei
has been given by NJ. Marcelin Bou lie,
The flints formed bed underlying
some twenty feet of chalk, in which
narrow shafts and galleries, still be az
ing the marks of the rude deer-ho IN
picks, were excavated. The rofls Of
the galleries were supported by pillar;
and props, as in modern mining, but
the results of cave-ins are still TO be
seen in tools crushed between fallen
rocks. Near the shafts are the remains
of ancient workshops, where the flint
was worked into various articles used
in the age of polished stone. - COM
